Android Studio IBus Workaround

When I start Android Studio it gives this warning:

"Your system is using the IBus daemon which is known to cause intermittent keyboard issues with the IDE. See known issues for suggested workarounds."

I would like to use workaround #2 found on http://tools.android.com/knownissues/ibus, but I have no idea what this means:

"$ XMODIFIERS= ./bin/studio.sh"

Do I have to add this line to a config file somewhere?

Edit: This link has been added to the knownissues/ibus page. It has some helpful information I think.

Solution

  • This is what I did:

    • created studio_no_ibus.sh script in android-studio directory with these contents:
    #!/bin/bash
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Disable IBus input in Android Studio.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#

pushd `dirname $0` > /dev/null
DIR=`pwd`
popd > /dev/null

XMODIFIERS= $DIR/bin/studio.sh
    • $ chmod +x studio_no_ibus.sh(assuming you are in android-studio directory)

    This way you can start Android Studio with IBus disabled by running the script $ ./studio_no_ibus.sh.
